This paper introduces the results of the development of a new mobile digital DC-arc welding machine (DDWM). A simple PI controller is applied to the DDWM to control the output welding current that is tracking the constant setting current. Furthermore, a hot-start function, an anti-stuck function, a standby mode and an intelligential circuit breaker (ICB) are included in the DDWM. The DDWM increases welding quality and saves more power energy than a conventional welding machine. The DDWM is changed from ready mode into the standby mode, automatically, after 2-minute intervals from this unload start. Then, the DDWM is changed into ready mode, automatically, since it is reused for welding. Moreover, the DDWM increases welding quality, productivity and reduces costs of welding. So, the DDWM can make a considerable contribution to the mobile welding industries. The effectiveness of the DDWM was proven by the experimental results.

VCB, with its big arc extinction in very short switching time, produces the high switching surge voltage which may cause the breakdown of motor insulation or acceleration of insulation deterionation. To protect motor winding insulation, we developed the computer algorithm for simulating the surge occurred in VCB by EMTP. And we established the effect of the C-R surge absorber by the surge measurement in the motor-VCB circuit.

The vacuum interrupter (VI) is used for medium-voltage switching circuits due to its abilities and advantages as a compact and environmental friendly circuit breaker. In general, the application of a sufficiently strong axial magnetic field (AMF) permits the arc to be maintained in a diffused mode to a high-current vacuum arc. A full understanding of the vacuum arc physics is very important since it can aid to improve the performance of vacuum interrupter. In order to closely examine the vacuum arc phenomena, it is necessary to predict the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) characteristics by the multidisciplinary numerical modeling, which is coupled with the electromagnetic and hydrodynamic fields, simultaneously. In this study, we have investigated the electromagnetic behaviors of high-current vacuum arcs for two different types of AMF contacts, which are coil-type and cup-type, using a commercial finite element analysis (FEA) package, ANSYS. The present results are compared with those of MAXWELL 3D, a reliable electromagnetic analysis software, for verification.

전력계통에서 아크현상이 원인이 되는 전기화재는 전기제품의 사용증가에 따라 급증하고 있으나, 이들 사고를 방지할 수 있는 확립된 방법은 없다. 이들 배경에서 본 논문은 공기조화기에서 직렬아크 검출 기술과 장치에 대한 실험적 결과에 대해 기술하였다. 공기조화기의 불완전한 접속부에서 발생하는 직렬아크를 모의하고, 주파수 스펙트럼을 FFT로 분석한 결과, 190 kHz~250 kHz와 900 kHz~1.6 MHz 에 존재함을 알 수 있었다. 저역차단주파수가 170 kHz이며 60 Hz를 176 dB까지 감쇄시킬 수 있는 아크검출 및 파형정형 회로를 설계하였다. 또한 스위치 조작, 인버터 운전 및 서지 등에 의해 발생하는 노이즈로부터 직렬아크신호를 분리할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 적용실험은 UL1699에 규정 되어있는 아크발생장치를 이용하여 여러 형태의 공기조화기에서 수행되었으며, 99 %이상 검출능력을 나타내었다.

This paper presents a new circuit topology of active edge resonant snubbers assisted half-bridge soft switching PWM inverter type DC-DC high power converter for DC bus feeding power plants. The proposed DC-DC power converter is composed of a typical voltage source-fed half-bridge high frequency PWM inverter with a high frequency planar transformer link in addition to input DC busline side power semiconductor switching devices for PWM control scheme and parallel capacitive lossless snubbers. The operating principle of the new DC-DC converter treated here is described by using switching mode equivalent circuits, together with its unique features. All the active power switches in the half-bridge arms and input DC buslines can achieve ZCS turn-on and ZVS turn-off commutation transitions. The total turn-off switching losses of the power switches can be significantly reduced. As a result, a high switching frequency IGBTs can be actually selected in the frequency range of 60 kHz under the principle of soft switching. The performance evaluations of the experimental setup are illustrated practically. The effectiveness of this new converter topology is proved for such low voltage and large current DC-DC power supplies as DC bus feeding from a practical point of view.

전기화재의 주된 원인은 단락 및 과부하 사고, 누전 및 접촉불량 등으로 구분되며, 화재의 발생요인은 이들 사고에서 동반되는 아크나 스파크로 인한 화재가 대다수이다. 저압배전선로에 사용되는 고감도형 누전차단기는 누전과 과부하를 검출하여 차단하는 기능은 있으나, 전기화재의 직접적인 위험요소인 아크나 스파크 현상에 대한 차단기능은 없는 것으로 분석된다. 이것은 저압 분전반에 적용되는 누전차단기의 경우 정격차단시간이 30[ms](KS C 4613)로 정해져 있어, 더욱 낮은 레벨로 주기적으로 발생되는 아크나 스파크를 감지하지 못하기 때문이다. 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 전기화재에 기인되는 아크나 스파크에 대해 누전차단기를 트립시키는 보조제어장치를 제안하고, 제안된 보조제어장치의 이론적 해석과 실험측정을 통해 그 타당성을 입증시킨다.

This paper describes a computer model of the secondary arc associated with single pole switching scheme to use in system simulation studies. The computer model is based on the mathematical model described by A.T.Johns, et.al[3], and is implemented by the EMTDC which is similar to the Electro Magnetic Transient Program(EMTP). Simulation results using the computer model compare with a previous simulation and field test results.

Switched reluctance motors have received much attention as a driving means for various industrial applications because they have simple construction, low cost and high efficiency. Nevertheless, the requirements of drive converters make it difficult to lower the overall system cost as compared with the DC motor application. Single phase switched reluctance motors (SPSRMs) provide a solution to the high cost problem since the number of switching power devices can be reduced and consequently the trials for application are increased. However, research involving SPSRMs, especially in the area of design work, is insufficient. This paper introduces a novel design methodology of single phase SRM. The design work for SPSRM comprises the determination of many variables such as stator and rotor pole arc as well as on, off and so on. Managing all variable combinations leads to lengthy computation time and a fault in the design process. For that reason, a reliable technique and brief procedure term are required in SPSRM design.

The single phase switched reluctance motor has been studied and developed actively in the various applications with several kinds and forms because of the developments of the design technique by using the computer and of the driving technique power electronic technology, which has the merits of a simple and robust structure, and first of all reducing the number of the switching devices in comparison with poly phase switched reluctance motor. And also, the studies are making progess to substitute the switched reluctance motor for single phase induction motor. In the previous studies, the single phase switched reluctance motor for the drive of blower is designed with the design theory of the conventional rotating electric machine and poly phase switched reluctance motor. In this paper, we intend to select the optimal pole arc and pole pitch ratio by the FEM analysis, because the pole arc and pole pitch are very important factor to determine the characteristics of switched reluctance motor.

The secondary arcing phenomenon can be hardly modeled for computer simulation due to its particularly nonlinear characteristics. This paper describes a new computer modeling technique for the secondary arc which can be implemented with the EMTDC. The computer model proposed is based on realistic are conduction behaviors through both FIT and variable resistor modules which is supported in the EMTDC. Simulation results using the proposed technique are compared with some previous studies.
